I’m not all that surprised by this data, but being a loyal plasma fan I am saddened by it. I love my plasma and it’s been rock solid, but apparently most folks looking for TV’s today aren’t looking that way. My dad is one of them, he’s in the market for a new 55″, and I can’t talk him out […]
Read moreI have no idea what to make of this since there’s no price associated, but my guess it’s going to be quite a bit more than Chromecast, but it also has a whopping 1TB of data–ONE. I must be missing something as far as how practical this is, and there’s no screenshots of the UI. Would love to test one […]
Read moreASRock has been around for a while and always load their motherboards with tons of features at a very affordable price. This Z87 based motherboard is a bit different as it’s on the higher priced spectrum, but these guys seem to like it. With that said, today we’ll be reviewing out the ASRock Z87E-ITX motherboard, which as you may expect […]

In an effort to teach my children something about the importance of equity I don’t let them say “that’s not fair”, they have to use “I don’t like that” instead. Today, I have to take that message on myself as I resist the urge to stomp on the ground, because like the amazingly simple Nest thermostat, their latest innovation — […]

If you’re a yearly CyberLink PowerDVD upgrader, they have just the thing for you – a subscription plan that runs $44.99/year, or 4x $14.99 if you prefer a quarterly payment schedule. For this persistent outlay you get the latest rev of PowerDVD and 10GB of online, er… Cloud, storage which, if you also have a Android or iOS device with […]
Read moreI’m not sure this is very surprising news, but it’s great to see more research firms continue to evolve as these social networks play a bigger part of our lives. I for one just hope Twitter eventually implements the *spoiler* feature we’ve seen recently from others so I can actually use twitter when I’m behind on some shows. Nielsen is […]
Read moreSimple.TV is an app that’s hoping to help you record shows to a hard drive and then stream them to numerous devices, is continuing to expand their range of support. Google recently released Chromecast and we’ve been working on native support that we plan to deliver once Google gives us the high-sign. We’re also a new member of DLNA (Digital […]
Read moreChances are, if you’re here, you look at devices like the Cinema One as an expensive curiosity. It does provides some of the features we’ve been backstroking Scrooge McDuck style for more years than I can remember to the masses, er… monied masses, because while it is a cheap Kaledescape system, it still costs $3000. That pile of cash does […]
Read moreI’m not quite sure I understand the motivation behind this box, but it is a unique and small looking package. Leveraging the steam OS–but I think it has a regular OS too? I’m not sure why someone would spend the money on this versus a Falcon, Maingear or other pre-built computer. With one of Valve’s other announcements last week, […]
Read moreInteresting to see a big cable provider fail miserably at trying to compete with Netflix. Although charging extra for a box just for this, and then charging more per month…seems like it was doomed from the start. That’s where Netflix has the edge, given the vast number of devices which already support it–or heck, even just getting a $35 Chromecast. […]
